Back home and back on track...

Dang, time just seems to keep getting away from me! We've been away for the last week...spent 6 days with my family in the Detroit area. It was a great trip, the drive went smoothly, we had great family time, spent time with my nephew & nieces (oh, and their parents) and got to see some aunts, uncles & cousins that I hadn't seen in a long time...I took my spinning wheel and my knitting with me, got some stuff done but not alot. I had hoped to meet up with some friends while I was home but time just ran out and honestly with losing as many members of my family as we have in the last couple years my family was my priority and I think (hope) my friends can understand that. So now it's back to the grind, I did get some great stuff for some new stitch markers & I just need to add a couple more little things and my box for SP10 will be in the mail (probably on Monday)...tomorrow I'm going out to learn how to shear sheep!!! I'm excited to learn and anxious to see how much the lambs have grown since I was there last! I'll try to post again tomorrow and have some pics then!

June already???

Wow, where has this year gone?!?!? The kids are out of school already and I'm on vacation in 5 days. I am looking so forward to my week off and I have so much to do before we leave!!!!! The bright points of recent is that my motorcycle is up and running...I'm riding it as much as I can which I enjoy and it is helping my gas budget...the gardens are in at Fiber Whims and I have planters out on my cleaned patio, the patio furniture and grill are out and my wireless internet is finally actually working again after almost a year of not being able to figure out why it wasn't working...and I got a new laptop which I am totally in love with even though Vista has had me pulling my hair out! The best part of the new laptop so far is that right now, I'm sitting out on the patio with Charlie enjoying the smell of the last of the lilacs looking at my plants and getting this updated! My commitment with the new laptop is to update this at least once a week and to get some of my knitting patterns published on here. The plan is for one pattern a month...Well, I'm going to close this for now and go take a shower and head to work...Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
